It's Chorlton's brother Charlton

I know we're supposed to think that this is Daniel taking the thorn from the lion's paw, and move on. But Reece Witherspoon fans will immediately spot it as the inspo for the magical moment when Elle Woods and Paulette Bonafonté first met in Legally Blonde.
Media Studies, innit tho'?

You're at the Leper Gate too?

My photo shows a Roman fresco of a brown rabbit with long ears, curled on the ground, with a rounded, soft-looking body. Its head is lowered as if nibbling at three figs placed in front of it. The figs are small and round with short stems, painted in dark reddish and bluish tones. From Pompeii. Now on display at the National Archaeological Museum in Naples.

Here’s a charming Roman fresco of a little rabbit eating figs 🐰❤️

From Pompeii, 45-79 AD.

Now at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli. 📷 by me

Certainly is. 3 of your 5 a day. Coffee made from beans - vegetable. Vanilla from pods - vegetable. Sugar from sugar cane - vegetable. The only surprise is so many vegetables being served as a sweet course...

Distant cousins of the covfefe?

I used to have clients living in all three of the blocks - red, yellow and blue topped. Lots of reasons for folk to feel excluded over there, so fertile ground for opportunistic twats 😕

Just got the chance to listen to this. Everyone but me and the hamster (down for his nightly romp around the room) have gone to bed. I pressed play and Beany sat up, half way through his scamper across the floor, transfixed. Didn't move again until I pressed pause. Not quite Hookland weird, but...

Is it the Calders' thing?

Is that worse than a church full of hypocrites lending weight to the notion that those church goers are inherently decent people?

Goodnight Hookland

I just got Alexander Armstrong and Angus Deayton mixed up. I was a bit worried in case it was a symptom of declining faculties.

Then it occurred to me that no one had ever seen them together, and perhaps AA is the alter-ego AD created for himself after his shame™

Probably a worrying symptom eh?

The paramilitary wing of CrochetClub...

Union not League I take it? Dad always said League was a much cleaner faster game, and he was brought up watching union.

There's a lot of us. From the very first time I saw him on ToTP with a daffodil hanging out of his trousers arse pocket

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

lmao they're going to just announce Iran has unconditionally surrendered in a few days and have the lapdog press run it from there

I'm just so very fed up of this song's persistent relevance. Every time I turn round they're at it again. How wonderful it would be to be able to listen to this as a moving part of history

You say that as though it's a bad thing...

It could be much, much worse

See also Hershey Bars. First time in New York, bought a Hershey Bar to eat on the Staten Island Ferry. It was horrid, so I threw it overboard. Spent the rest of the journey waiting for the fish to throw it back...

Former Chief Medical Officer calls out Streeting’s highly politicised ‘trial’ of puberty blockers. Meanwhile @goodlawproject.org have uncovered a spike in trans youth ending their own lives because they can’t access appropriate care. This is a national scandal.

My Condoleezonances to all the zoomers about to learn this name

If you must use Al (don't) or know someone who does and blindly believes whatever it says, before asking it a question, ask it why you shouldn't trust what it will tell you.

How quintessentially English!😂😂🔥

Man walks past the US embassy in the UK shouting 'bastards'!

Is there any real chance of a reaching a peace deal in a war where one side are irrational religious zealots operating under a repressive theocracy, and so are the other two.

Chinny...
